ls it possible that twins registered in 1910 could be on different page numbers Pam

It is unlikely but I suppose it is possible. If one twin was listed and that page was then full, they could have turned over and started a new page with the other twin. Are the page numbers consecutive? Sam x

Hi Sam Thanks for replying No the page numbers have a gap of 13 l thought it highly unlikely but l'm trying to solve my uncle's birth My dad was born 1910 and my uncle was said to be a bit younger but there's no trace of it anywhere Weird!!!! Thanks again Pam

Pam and Sam. I have twin Aunts, now deceased, born in 1904, the first is the last entry on page 70 and the second who was born 30 minutes later (as shown on the birth certs) is the first entry on page 71. In the blank margin on the left of the entry on page 70, the Registrar has written 'Twin' but not on the one on page 71. Same mother and father, same address and same date. Ray.

Pam Is you uncle still alive? If not, did he die after 1969, when his death registration / certificate should show his birthdate.? Do you want to post a name so that others can look for him ? Gwyn

Yes - I have twin rellies, who are on two different pages. It is all according to what theire first names are. One at beginning of alphabet the other one near the end.
